LEARNING TO FLY

THE LIVED EXPERIENCE

Life is full of ups and downs. For some of us, the downs can lead to lonely and dark places where suicide is sometimes seen as a way for the pain to end. I am here to tell you there is always HOPE and always another way. I’ve lived through the experience of suicide in my own family, with the death of my brother Aidon in 2008. He was only 19 years old. I discovered that no matter how tough things seem, we can, with a little or a lot of help from the people around us, learn to fly and transcend those bad experiences and work towards achieving one’s full potential in life.

I’m on a journey to share my personal experience and have dedicated my life to help other people tackle the problem of suicide and mental illness.
